A/C CONDENSER AND TRANSMISSION UNIT. A FREON LEAK IN THIS UNIT CAN DUMP FREON GAS AND COMPRESSOR OIL INTO THE TRANSMISSION WHICH CAN CAUSE TRANS PROBLEMS OR TRANSMISSION FLUID CAN LEAK INTO THE A/C SYSTEM AND RUIN ALL COMPONENTS IN THE SYSTEM. THIS CAN BE A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR OR THE CAR IS JUNK. TRANS COOLER SHOULD BE A SEPARATE UNIT TO PREVENT THIS PROBLEM.

AS I WAS DRIVING THE GAS PEDAL GOT LOCKED AS I WAS APPROACHING A STOP SIGN AND THE ENGINE WAS REVVING HIGH AT 5000 RPM . I TRIED TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE BUT IT WILL NOT RESPOND , SO I HAD TO MAKE A SUDDEN RIGHT TURN ONTO A LESS TRAVELED STREET TO AVOID HITTING OTHER CARS . I THEN DISENGAGED THE TRANSMISSION TO NEUTRAL TO BE ABLE TO SHUT THE ENGINE OFF .
